The Queenship of Mary

Judges 6:11-24; Psalm 85; Luke 1:26-30

Living the ‘yes’

Mary’s ‘yes’ to the angel’s message changed her life forever. As mother of Jesus, she would become mother of all who follow her Son. Her royal stature reflects not merely the greatness of her privilege, but the dignity and faithfulness with which she lived her ‘yes’. Mary, our Mother, watch over all your children. May dignity and faithfulness identify our lives as we follow Jesus, as you did, even to Calvary. In his victory over death he crowns your goodness. As Queen, pray for us, that our victory may also be assured. Amen.
